Red Letter Revolution: What If Jesus Really Meant What He Said? by Shane Claiborne and Tony Campolo

 Red Letter Revolution is a book based on an extended dialogue between the two authors about what would really happen if believers and non-believers alike would live out the red letters of the Bible - which are the words of Jesus.  The Red Letter Revolution is a call to a lifestyle that considers first and foremost Jesus' explicit message of sacrificial love.  Red Letter Revolution is a blueprint for a new kind of Christianity

The authors candidly talk about the words of Jesus on contemporary issues of Islam, hell, violence, civil disobedience and many other critical topics of today.

The book contains three main sections:

Part 1: Red Letter Theology

Part 2: Red Letter Living

Part 3: Red Letter World

This book is dedicated "To all of us, young and old, who want a Christianity that looks like Jesus again."


If the Jesus who speaks to you through the Gospels is at odds with the Christian culture you know, if you have ever wanted to stand up and say, “I love Jesus, but that’s not me,” Red Letter Revolution will prove that you are not alone—you may have been a Red Letter Christian all along.
